General info:

Alpental is one of four base areas at the Summit-at-Snoqualmie, separated from the other three by Interstate 90. Alpental offers the most advanced and expert terrain at the area with runs like Upper International and Shot Six. Enjoy a 360-degree view and 500 acres of backcountry terrain, plus your choice of either black or double-black downhill runs from the top of Chair 2, the Edelweiss chair. Alpental is served by three double chairs and one detachable high-speed quad, has 2,280 feet of vertical, and averages 444 inches of snow a year. That’s a lot of big numbers for a ski area with just a bit more than 300 skiable acres inbounds. There is no wasted space.
